There should be a huge crowd in Dundalk this evening where Milldean Panther returns to action in the Boylesports International .

The early yards are absolutely crucial in tonight’s final of the Macroom Motor Services Stake and favourite Cashen Mafuma will need to be on his toes to avoid trouble if North Bound repeats his antics of the semi-finals.

IT has been a very busy period on the southern circuit in the past month and more and the action remains furious this weekend with the final of the Red Mill Masters at Waterford on Saturday backed up by the final of the Tyrur Kennels Open 575 at Curraheen as well as top open action at Tralee and Limerick.

THE victory of Ardkill Star in the final of the €6,000 Billy Mulvaney Jnr and Snr Memorial 600 at Shelbourne Park on Saturday was especially poignant for one of his joint owners Ciaran Mangan.
